Hal Sparks

Remember Dude, Where’s My Car? (It’s hard, we know.) Get past the Dude/Sweet tattoo scene and enter UFO cultists babbling about a continuum transfuctioner. Their leader, Zoltan, comes in later, in all his bubble-wrap glory. This strange character was Hal Sparks’ first silver-screen role. Twelve years later, Sparks’ resume includes a starring role in Queer as Folk, VH1’s decade-loving specials, guest roles on several sitcoms and a current role in Disney’s Lab Rats. This week, the spiky-haired comedian stands up at Helium Comedy Club spewing hilarious social commentary that will leave you clutching your sides. Seeing a new comedian is a huge commitment, though; If he sucks, you will never get his bad jokes out of your head. So before you commit to the tickets, search “Hal Sparks Charmageddon.” You’re welcome. -Alexis Sachdev
